My wife is Asian. She is slightly older than I am. But I'm a weird, bald dude, and she looks like a young teenager. When I think about it too much, it makes me feel self conscious while we are out.
I just think it’s funny now when people get mad at the expression “age is just a number” because they assume you’re trying to justify being with someone under and outside your “acceptable” age range, when it can be the opposite. I remember a lady commenting on me being out to dinner with someone and said something to the effect of me robbing the cradle in an accusatory way, and my date told her that actually it was the other way around LOL
